These tiny 2-headed worms are actually a HUGE deal! In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have started to crack the electrical code that dictates how living cells communicate and form into organisms. And with this knowledge, they’re figuring how to rewrite it, creating totally new creatures — kind of like living “robots” — that include one made entirely from skin cells. "This organism has never existed before," says biologist Michael Levin PhD. "This is literally the only organism that I know of on the face of this planet whose evolution took place not in the biosphere of the Earth but inside a computer." Yet another reason why these wee worms matter: This research holds major potential applications for medicine such as repairing birth defects, regenerating human tissue, even treating cancerous tumors. Watch the full talk at the link in our bio to learn about this amazing biological breakthrough.⁠ ⁠ [Image credit: Junji Morokuma // Levin Lab]
